User talk:Xeron1177

Welcome!
Hello, Xeron1177, and welcome to Wikipedia!&#32;Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was JST DAVID, which appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article.&#32;Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or another editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

One rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)

In addition, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for any contribution you make, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation to comply with our terms our use and policy on paid editing.

Hi C.Fred, thanks for the welcome. I'm curious to why you singled the JST DAVID article that I posted. I am a music lover from Baton Rouge, Louisiana and very familiar with the music scene locally. I started an account to take my passion and shed some light on the local music legends we have here who don't get enough credit. JST DAVID didn't have a page on Wikipedia yet, unlike some of the more established Baton Rouge artists such as Kenny Neal or Henry Gray - both of which I have updated relevant information on as well. But the article I wrote on JST DAVID was unbiased, and accurate. This kid is a big deal, and is the closing performer at this years Blues Festival in Baton Rouge, which is one of the oldest, free Blues Festivals in America. I plan on sharing more verifiable information on him, his career, along with many, many other artists locally who have done and are doing significant things that are relevant. Can you give me more insight into your statement? I'm not affiliated with any of the artists I have added information on, and everything I added is public, verifiable knowledge. Thank you!

 * Why did I apply the COI tag? You're claiming to be the photographer of some of the publicity photos that the subject uses. That implies a professional relationship. —C.Fred (talk) 23:18, 10 March 2018 (UTC)

If I did, it was by mistake. I am new to Wiki, so still trying to get my sea legs! I mentioned in the photos that I uploaded specifically for JST DAVID that I contacted the record label, and they gave me permission to use images that are already in public circulation - and also provided me with the info for the photographers and locations the images were shot at. Wiki took them down for no reason, even after I left this explanation. I re uploaded them thinking I did something incorrectly. I guess I botched it again. Can you assist me please? Thanks!

 * Commons won't take a second-hand donation. The label would have to contact Commons directly to confirm that the images are free for all derivative use, including commercial reuse. —C.Fred (talk) 23:37, 10 March 2018 (UTC)

Ok, I will remove the image for now, and then contact them again about what you mentioned. Don't want this to prevent my articles from being flagged, and I now know for future reference. Thank you! Xeron1177 (talk) 23:53, 10 March 2018 (UTC)
